Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Love that Monarch!

 

A Pinto Squire, a ‘68 Impala wagon, and a ‘72 Country Sedan. Man it doesn’t get much better than that.

#27308 has two '53-'54 Plymouths side by side in the right hand side slower lanes. How rare a shot is that? Maybe their flathead 6's were not comfortable going over 55 or so. My first car was a 54 Plymouth 3 on the tree and it was not happy over 55. Car was gift from my Grandmother summer I turned 16. She took very good care of the Plymouth and went to trade it on a new '64 Dodge Dart, also 3 on the tree. Salesman would only give her $25 in trade. Insulted, she gave car to me. My Grandfather, her husband, taught me quite a bit of math and logic using the daily horse racing pages in the newspaper when I was a pre schooler. My Mother did not approve, thought I would become a gambler like Gramps and some of his brothers. Great times.

 

Well the good news is with that Plymouth you wouldn’t have been a dead gambler having your car get out of control in a speedy chase fleeing the scene. My dad had a new ‘53 Cranbrook, he never sang its prowess as a speed wagon either.
